"To love another person is to see the face of God"

Just right outside of the theatre!
On Monday our group went to Les Miserables. I was super excited to see this musical because I have loved listening to some of the songs over the years and I was excited to see the context of them.

This musical was amazing! They were all amazing singers and the story was wonderful. It was great to see the redeeming story of the characters and how they stood up for what they believed. It was just a really powerful musical. I really think the fact that everything is sung also made it a lot more powerful. There is nothing that is spoken throughout the entire show. It's wonderful! I was surprised to find that I enjoyed the songs that I didn't know a lot more. Especially the Finale and the one right before intermission. My favorite character was Eponine. I just thought she was the most relatable of the characters and I loved when she sang, "On my own." So wonderful! Also Javert had the most rich and deep baritone voice I have ever heard. It was heart melting! Haha. I just really enjoyed it quite a bit.

The stage. Our seats were awesome!

After the show we walked around Soho. It was seriously the funniest thing ever. We probably got asked about 10 times what club we were going to, since it was a big group of girls. A guy even came up to us and offered to buy us free drinks if we went to the club with him. Haha. Don't worry, none of us were silly enough to go. It was way funny, though, just to be approached by so many people about clubbing. Soho is kinda a sketchy place at night time. We found a dessert and then went home.

Good night. Good music. Good laughs.
